Readability is the only learning app of its kind to help improve reading and comprehension in young and struggling readers, making it unlike anything else on the market. Readability brings together Artificial Intelligence, Natural Language Processing, Advanced Speech Recognition, Comprehension with Interactive Voice-based Questions & Answers (IVQA), Fun Content, Real-Time Performance Tracking, and Gamification within one mobile app to help young children become strong readers.
Practicing pace and pronunciation through reading aloud helps kids build the foundation needed to become excellent readers. With Readability, they'll also learn a variety of reading skills including accuracy, fluency, speed, decoding, and comprehension. In addition, their confidence will blossom and so will their passion for reading.
By helping your child to improve their reading skills and grow a love of reading, we will be setting them up for a lifetime of success. We aim to achieve this goal by providing the tools necessary for children to develop their reading, comprehension, and critical thinking skills In an innovative way, all while fostering a love of reading through fun and engaging content.
We also felt it was imperative to provide parents with tools to accurately track their child's reading progress to ensure they are on the right path. This dashboard includes time spent reading, reading level progress, comprehension checks, and more - all at a glance.
We won't stop here, though. We have so much in store to continue to bring you and your child the best reading help. If you'd like to follow our journey and learn more about Readability, please feel free to follow us on Facebook, lnstagram ,Twitter and Pinterest.

AWARDS
Parent and Teacher Choice Award
Readability has been chosen by the Howtolearn.comTeam as a Parent and Teacher Choice Award winner.The team was impressed by their ease to use, gamification style to hold the child's interest and more.
"When we reviewed this app, we discovered everything a reading specialist and learning expert would want - progress checking, quizzes that are not multiple choice and kindly request that your child rethinks their answer if they get it wrong - then after 3-4 tries, gives them them answer, repetition of words they got correct and wrong in future segments, and your child gets to read aloud increasing their fluency and word recognition as well!"
Readability has proudly been honored with their gold medal in the app category. Please read more here.

Educational App Store
The Educational App Store is a discovery, review, and recommendation platform for educational apps. The apps approved by the Educational App Store are certified and reviewed by experienced teachers. With thousands of learning tools out there, Educational App Store believes in challenging the status quo of app discovery by identifying truly exceptional apps to highlight for our young learners.
According to the Educational App Store, "Readability Tutor develops the reading skills of children. It is the first reading app that makes use of cutting-edge speech recognition and artificial intelligence technology."
Team members from the Educational App Store believe that with this technology, children won't have to wait until parents and teachers are free to listen. Instead, children can read to their mobile device, and the app models how to speak each word and sentence correctly and points out when they've made a mistake.
"Readability Tutor increases the opportunities for children to engage in practice sessions so they can really see their reading skills grow."
